Why is my AutoGallery SQL Blacklist not working?

George - how are you doing your bans?

http://www.domain.com/gallery1/indexabc.html or domain.com only?

No worries! Any help is welcomed...
I learned that the hard way before this avalanche started, so my blacklist only contains 'domain.com' - no http, no www (I had once a case where a blacklisted domain slipped in because www.domain.com was blacklisted - next was simple http://domain.com)

Originally posted by Wazza Also - are you manually pulling all banned domains out of your queue? Banning them alone not kill off any queued subs.

These ones were submitted several days after I blacklisted them! Today's are submissions from yesterday/today, the last extensive blacklist update was last Friday... GRRRR!

Originally posted by Wazza I manually create a file in notepad every time I review and then add it by hand to my banned domains, as well as doing a search for every domain and email and killing them off too.

I do a "whois" on bloody every 'unknown' domain - bloody time consuming that is!


so sorry: Originally posted by Wazza Hope this helps Well meant, but this didn't help at all...
